Hello,

I'm trying to get my Zire 31 to sync with my new 6.0 laptop, but am having no success.

I learned the other day that 6.0 no longer uses /dev/ucom0, but instead uses /dev/cuaU0

Ok, fine.

So I log on as root (I just want to get this workng for now -- I'll worry about the devfs permissions later) and:


1. Attach my Zire 31 with USB cable


2. Hit the HotSync button on the Zire

   I see dmesg output:
ucom0: PalmOne, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2
          ucom0: PalmOne, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2

Good, right? I'm pretty sure this is the exact same output I got on 5.2.1, 5.3 and 5.4 when attached.


3. So then I try:
   # pilot-xfer -p /dev/cuaU0 -l
   or
   # pilot-xfer -p /dev/cuaU0 -b ~/palmbkp
   or
   # ln -s /dev/cuaU0 /dev/pilot & pilot-xfer -b ~/palmbkp

   and all I get is:
Listening to port: /dev/cuaU0

       Please press the HotSync button now...

and that's it. Nothing. I already hit HotSync button to get ucom0 to register, so now what?

If my memory serves me correct, on 5.2.1-5.4, I could "pilot-xfer" without hitting HotSync button first, then hit HotSync when it was ready. So I'm really confused now.

Is there something I am missing? Or is something broken?

Yes, I recompiled my kernel with uvisor and ucom, so I don't think that's it. Should I take them out of kernel and use kldload instead? I might try that while waiting for a reply.


Thanks in advance for any help,
DW
